-A Are you a alright Akira -chan? Yumi s face then showed great pain, and even before Akira s reply, I was already standing up and heading beside her d did you get hu rt?
-N No Yuminee-chan - Akira replied, that was when she actually realized what had happened, shouting in sequence YUMINEE-CHAN! YUMI NEE -CH AN - falling to her side, fainting in sequence.
-T That is great Akira-chan Yumi said, losing the strength of her arms, that feel wobbly to her sides, her body tilted and feel on her back, I arrived on the exact moment of grabbing her before she hit the ground, when she felt she was on my arms, she looked at me and said I just g give you problems isn t that swe sweetie until the ve ry last moment -Don t be so silly! I replied, as seeing her on that way made all the past feelings come back, making me feel as if I was just about to lose the love of my life you are still very far from the end , we will treat you! I then grabbed the hilt of the sword, and I was about to pull it out when Andrade said.
-Don t do that Montecchio! You know very well that this will just worsen her situation! then blood began running down through the side of Yumi s mouth it shall make her have a deadly hemorrhage!
-D Don t w worry sweetie Yumi said, with a distant look with me -Of course I worry about you Yumi! I replied exasperated, looking at her why did you do something like that?
-B Because I know... that my sweetie loves Akira he just doesn t know it yet - Yumi coughed then and in case he lost her he would be very sad seeing my sweetie like that would be worse than death to me that is why I did this without thinking t twice - Yumi coughed again, this time spitting blood on the process.
-It is alright I understood Yumi don t say anything more so the royal troops will come and help us to save you I ordered her, seeing her state was quickly getting worse.
-N No now I need to say everything - Yumi coughed again, which didn t prevent her from talking remember the d day you found me in front of my home after the earthquake?
-Yes Yumi I remember as if it had happened yesterday I replied, remembering even the fur on her paws touching my hands when I took her and brought her back.
-S So at that moment I was so s scared I had just lost papa and m mama on the earthquake - she then looked me in the eyes even though I went after two weeks I saw that you were a gentle boy caring on the day I understood what I felt for you - Yumi coughed again, not spitting even more blood out fifteen days later was the day I knew I loved you a person that never made me a selfish wish that is why I always wanted to serve you that was my reason to live -I understood Yumi I understood! I replied completely worried, that was when the real meaning behind Yumi s words entered my head, she loved me since she was a kid! Then I became completely desperate then I will make an egoistic wish! Continue living and serving me! That is all I ask of you! Promise me you are going to do that?
-C C Continue s serving you huh? Yumi said, but it was noticeable that her life was being quickly drained with the blood puddle under us y yes that w would be very good I p pro mi se s s s swe ti ee -That is great Yumi! So we can - that was when I noticed her eyes stood still, her head tilted to the side, her arms lost their strength, also falling to the ground and a last sound was heard coming from her, now only blood was dripping from her morbidly opened mouth; when I noticed that Yumi just passed away, I just looked at her and said you liar, you died.
After taking the sword out from Yumi s body, I hugged her with all the care and feelings I had kept for her these twenty one long relation years; I then looked at Rita and Dusk and before losing my mind to the pain I was feeling, I ordered that the inumimi helped Andrade to carry her sister out and to Silva s ex-lover to carry akira, saying that soon I would be together with them; as soon as they left the premises I cried tears of pain and extreme agony, after all this time thinking I wasn t loved back, finding out on your beloved s last moments that you were loved back, was something really bad; I was so lost on my own grief that I didn t even listen to my enemy behind me, who rose his sword over my back and shouted:
-Accursed old and useless nekomimi! he was about to strike in a way I wouldn t be able to dodge but at least in the end I shall !
The noble then shouted and took his hands towards his own back, turning around to look to the direction from which back what hit him, I looked at his back first and noticed that there was a needle like thing stuck into his body, then I noticed the responsible for the shot was no one else but Enma; that had her eyes full of pain, grudge, sorrow, hatred and vengeance; soon another needle was thrown, now on Silva s belly, when the noble fell to his knees, the kitsunemimi neared him and murmured something in a voice tone I will never forget:
-After what happened to me eighteen years ago - Enma then got an dagger she had hidden I had a lapse regarding the responsible for the doing she then touched the weapon on Silva s clothing near his genitals I began remembering them one by one, the faces and names of those that appeared on that small rape orgy she then slowly cut the clothing that covered it however the face and name of the person that ordered it fled my mind, because he had a look so full of wickedness that it always terrorized me she then placed the weapon under his penis and completed but when you said what you did to Yumi I DO NOT recall agreeing anything with a filthy retarded and with mental issues like was the same thing you said to the poor girl you hired to bring you the victims, wasn t it? a creepy smile appeared on Enma s face.
At that instant, Silva reacted as if he had just remembered something really bad having enough time to just say so you are ; at this point, with a quick movement, Enma just slashed the noble s member, that howled with all the strength he had left; the kitsunemimi just watched the macabre show for a while, and when he seemed to be losing his endurance due to blood loss, she grabbed him by his hair and whispered see you in hell beheading our enemy in sequence, showering on his blood, lastly she cackled uncontrollably for several minutes; when she was finished, she just looked at me and said:
-Come, the others are waiting for us helping me then carry Yumi s body.
From that point on I began acting in an automatic pilot mode, seeing it was as if I wasn t inside myself, we were received by the royal troops, directed to treatment, we talked to the King; Dawn, Dusk, Akira and I returned home and on the following day we buried Yumi beside Nina, as it was the final wish of my old dear nekomimi; at that instant was when my mind finally gave in and I finally became somewhat insane.
I don t recall much of what happened after that, just knowing that I was loved once and my she died made myself lose my mind, I isolated myself from everyone and I spent most of my time in my bedroom drinking, trying to end the pain that was inside my heart, it was rare for me to have a sober and non-hallucinate moment, but at those blessed moments I noticed that there was my little nekomimi Akira, looking and taking care of me, without being able to tell how much time I spent on this stile, I just know that one day I woke up inside Yumi s old bedroom, that was kept the very same way as she had left it; my head hurt horribly, I was alone.
Yumi s room was quite simple for an explosive woman as she was, it had a bed with pink sheets, that still kept the smell of my beloved nekomimi; being in that place was oppressive to me, seeing it would just make remind me even more of my mistake that was the cause to everything that happened, the urge of drinking came back strong, so I stood up in order to go get one more drink, something got my attention though, some pink notebooks that was over the table she used to study and read at when she was free, and to draw after she was enslaved, I don t know what happened, I even forgot to go and drink, I just sat on the chair and began going through the pages of those huge notebooks, that I noticed to be some kind of diary; they were typical girl s one, with annotations about her day, with whom she talked to and things of the sort, however there were some points that actually stood out:
05/25/2005 Today I completed ten years of life! Richard gave me a collar with my and his picture, I got so happy! My birthday date is the only thing I remember from before the earthquake, Richard makes it always be so special!
04/20/2010 Nina came to me and said that the family s lawyer is interested in me, she even said that as soon as I completed fifteen years old next month I should accept and all but I love Richard! I would never leave him to marry another man! Not to mention he is creepy that lawyer looks like a molestor
05/21/2010 Today that perverted lawyer tried again! I went to complain to grandma Nina and she thought it was wrong on his behalf to insist so much, he even tried to touch me inappropriately! Grandma keeps asking me while I refuse him so much, when I said it was because I wanted to marry Richard someday she flipped! She then wanted me to accept the lawyer s request at all costs and to think of Richard as long a brother! I was going to reply very impolitely to grandma but she had so much sadness on her eyes that I decided against doing it
05/24/2010 Today was the worst day of my life! That pig of a lawyer tried to rape me! I sank my claws on his face! He will be scarred forever! Hehehe I shouted to him! Never! I prefer being a slave than to lose my virginity to another person other than Richard! he replied Your wish is an order then! and left running. Now I am scared
05/25/2010 I thought that yesterday had been the worst day of my life? Forget it I am crying so much I don t even know why I am writing, he got his revenge! He accused me of attacking him if I didn t hand him money! He then did some shady deals and transformed me into a slave! Damned person! My paw is still hurting from the slave s burn mark! This shit hurts!
05/26/2010 The lawyer got what he deserved! Richard forgave me and decided to keep me, much against Nina s wish! He also fired the lawyer as well! That is why I love him!
Almost all days after those ones were normal annotations, until I arrived in this one 12/27/2020, when she began writing in a continuous, non-linearly, after being raped by me: S Sweetie did something horrible that I had just seen on the news he raped me then there were some tear marks on the paper no that wasn t my sweetie at all it was a monster there is something controlling him the man I love for twenty one years cannot be that being then she changed pen colors I tried to live my life normally after yesterday I could not do it though on the middle of the way I began crying, I couldn t hold it anymore, I was afraid of meeting the being again someone heard me crying I blurted it out all on him it was relieving he also thinks that this person cannot be the one I love that something must be wrong with him
Days later I told him that my owner was Montecchio Richard, he made a scared face, saying that he might really be controlled that was when he told me everything he knew about the nekomimi revolution; he mentioned that he got to know that the extremists had infiltrated someone on the Montecchio hose and were successful into manipulating him through that person, at the same moment came to my mind the image of that accursed small nekomimi that he so much idolatrized now when I said the name Akira he confirmed my suspects and that she was the one manipulating him
I found out that the person wants to help me free Richard from that influence he proposed me something really seriously I told him I needed to be sure before acting she then continued with a different color pen I knew it was her after all today was the brat birthday, Richard did things to her that not even to our beloved Nina, my she be with Saint Meow, he did I saw him giving breakfast to her, leaving the house on helicopter, arriving home late when it was already night, he even had sex with her I saw never that Richard would have sex like that never now I am sure she changed the pen s color again alright I already called noble Silva I never thought he would help us so much starting tomorrow I will have my sweetie back then I will tell him I love him and propose to him for us to marry even if Nina didn t want that to happen at any costs
At that exact moment my head hurt exactly the very same way it did one the day I raped her, I began hearing just one voice this time, which would tell me it is her fault! It thanks to that small nekomimi Akira s that you did what you did with Yumi, for the death of the nekomimi that now you know that loved you! a hatred began taking the best of me on the exact moment that I saw my personal caretaker enter the room with visible worry on her face, the last thing I remember was her saying:
-Oh! So there is where you were dear! she then looked around we were looking for you for a good time now and
Everything turned black at that instant; just the words kill her! Kill her! echoed inside my mind, I felt that I was pressing something, soft, between my hands, however not knowing what it could be; I began hearing a voice from very afar Let go of my dear let go of my dear he is not like this! , a care feeling began flooding me, I opened the eyes and noticed that I had Akira suspended mid-air, her small paws holding my arms, legs moving on the air, while I strangled her between her attempts into bringing me back, asking so that person to let go of me! I instantly horrified myself and let go of the little one, that fell to the ground coughing and fighting to recover her breath, at the same moment I heard the door being taken down and a strong pain on my chest, I was then thrown to the other side of the room, hitting with my back on the bookshelf and then books feel over me; that was when I heard Stephan shout:
-FIRST KIKURI, THEN YUMI he then pointed towards Akira NOW DO YOU WANT TO KILL LITTLE AKIRA? I WOULD RATHER END YOU MYSELF BEFORE THAT HAPPENS, AS I DON T RECOGNIZE YOU AS OUR GENTLE OWNER!
-STOP STEPHAN! shouted Akira placing herself between me and him - THAT IS NOT DEAR S FAULT! DON T HURT HIM PLEASE!
-A Akira! Stephan replied, completely confused how can you say that after he tried to strangle you he was still forced to take two steps back before Akira s firm and determined eyes.
-Raging Stallion as always you act before thinking, making you commit judgment errors Enmie said right after entering the room; with a completely different voice than her usual, however that was totally familiar to me despite it would be impossible to be who I thought that was.
-Enmie how can you say that I - suddenly Stephan became pale, asking then while stuttering t there is only o one person that knew about this nickname and that used to call me R R Raging Stallion -Exactly, you are correct replied the usagimimi Enmie, I blinked without understanding and when I opened my eyes again, the usagimimi had her face transformed into Nina s!
